Someone with a Blogger blog has posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls. They are cycling.
Our road was a flat beautiful bike path leading us right to thundering glorious Niagara Falls. It was magnificent to arrive here on bicycles, but a little overwhelming with all the tourists…
Our day off found us touring the falls on the Maid of the Mist tour. We climbed on board a boat packed in with many other tourists wearing blue plastic rain ponchos. Then we rode right up to the falls where the water was flying up so hard and fast, that the falls disappeared from view, only the noise reminded us of the overwhelming presence of the falls. That and all the water sloshing around inside my shoes.
The Day Trips Canada site has some basic information about Clifton Hill:
Clifton Hill which is located in scenic Niagara Falls is a famous street with a steep slope that provides tourists with access countless attractions. Located one block from Niagara Falls, the walk up Clifton Hill offers access to over 35 attractions and restaurants, the best specialty stores and retail outlets and a bustling and energy packed carnival like atmosphere.

On Thursday we drove into Canadia to do all the Falls stuff on that side since Jaime has already done all the stuff on the American side. Plus the Canadia side is better even though I hate Canadians because they come down to shop and they drive like they’ve fallen asleep at the wheel. We did the Journey Behind the Falls, the River Walkway, the Maid of the Mist, and walked along Clifton Hill (which I would describe it as an amusement park on a street).

I had a truly terrific time in Niagara, which I’ll relate in a little bit, but it truly is wonderful to be home again. The hotel was nice, we had fun, the food was good, it was great to get away and spend time with Terri…
The Canadian side is far more commercial, far more touristy. Clifton Hill looked like a miniature version of Las Vegas, or maybe Disney Land. Lots of bright lights… An assortment of restaurants, shows, rides, shops, and things like that… Loud music… A casino… There was certainly a lot to see, and it was a lot of fun, but it wasn’t really uniquely “Niagara.” It felt like I could have experienced a lot of it just about anywhere else.

We spent the rest of the afternoon exploring Clifton Hill. There is a lot to do on that short street most of it really fun. S spotted a place called Brick City. We paid a surprising $23 for the three of us to get in even with our $1 off ea. coupon. This was the only thing we did that was not worth it. Avoid this place unless you have a kid who is Lego obsessed. And, ask if the prices are not posted. The only rates posted here were a discounted rate to visit a group of several attractions.

So we walked along the boardwalk and took many pics of the beautiful waterfalls. YAY! the States seems to get ripped-off b/c for one, their falls are completely straight and almost impossible to enjoy from their side of the canal AND our falls have a cool horseshoe effect going on and they are ALSO not that great looking from their side.

I think Niagara Falls is almost as beautiful as Gatlinburg. What Niagara Falls is lacking in pancake houses, it makes up for in giant, neon lit signs and 24-hr cheesy music.
